This event, organized by the Namyangju City Small Business Owners' Association (President Lee Yoonjae), was held to encourage local small business owners and present new goals and hopes for the future in celebration of the Small Business Owners' Day (November 5 every year) and Small Business Owners' Week, as stipulated by law.

More than 50 people attended the event, including Lee Sangbaek, President of the Gyeonggi-do Association, regional association presidents, Namyangju City Mayor Joo Gwangdeok, provincial and city council members, and heads of related organizations and groups.

The event, which began with an opening speech by Lee Yoonjae, President of the Namyangju City Association, featured the following: recognition of exemplary small business owners, a singing contest for small business owners, congratulatory performances, and the recitation of a vision slogan.

President Lee Yoonjae stated, "While communicating with local small business owners, I often encounter cases where they are not well aware of the various support projects being promoted by the association. Moving forward, I will work harder on communication and publicity to ensure that no one is left out, and strive to create a business environment where all small business owners can laugh and grow together."

Mayor Joo Gwangdeok said, "Many small business owners in the region are facing difficulties due to subdued consumer sentiment, changing consumption patterns, and the ongoing challenging economic situation since COVID-19. Despite the city's tough financial circumstances, we are maintaining a 10% incentive for the Namyangju Love Gift Certificate, which is used by 430,000 people. In the same way, we will do our utmost to develop and implement practical policies that are truly felt by small business owners, consumers, and citizens, and that invigorate the local economy."

Meanwhile, the Namyangju City Small Business Owners' Association is pursuing various projects to strengthen the self-sufficiency of local small business owners, including online social media education, promotional team activities, and marketing support.
